Golden Garlic Soup w/ Fideos {National Garlic Day}

Today is National Garlic Day! Garlic is one of my favorite things. I said it. I love garlic. I even ate it before I was married. A lot of it. Guess I only wanted to attract the kind of guy who likes garlic, himself. Mission accomplished...tee hee. And you how most people hate walking around with the smell of garlic on their hands? I actually like that. Weirdo, huh? It's even better if you've chopped up some lime &/or some ginger along with the garlic....ah, it's like perfume to me. I wanted to all smart and give you a big tutorial on the many uses and benefits of garlic; then I realized how much I have to get done today and I didn't prepare in advance, so I'm just going to show you some fun garlic-lovers cookbooks and share a new soup recipe I came up with this morning.

This soup is a garlic-lover's dream! Golden, caramelized, earthy garlic and onions along with the underlying heat from the sprinkling of chiles and the salty, just-meltiness (I know, not a word) of the cheese combine so beautifully...I think I'll go have another bowl of it once I'm finished here.

So, Happy Garlic Day to all....vampires and bugs be warned!

I'm also going to try to send this over to Deb for entry in Souper Sundays, even though I'm pretty sure I'm late and won't make it into today's roundup.

I love the smell of garlic too, cooking and raw! What a delicious pot of soup!! I didn't know it was Garlic Day, or I would of done something special, next year we should do a round-up! I think you'll make it into Deb's round-up, she's on Hawaii time, about four hours behind me.

I have all three books! And have been to the restaurant!!! Lets just say I roast it and wear the oil as a hand lotion...If someone dares to tell me I stink, then I will politely say "Bite Me, I am Chef E" back at 'em!

You liked that biker post huh? *wink* I either kill them with my food or my jokes...

I love garlic too, but my dear hubby HATES it. He swears it makes him sick, however, I have found that if I chop it finely enough and assure him that there is no garlic in the recipe, he doesn't get sick LOL.

Holy cow, this looks wonderful. I remember vacationing with a friend to Gilroy, CA where they grow all the garlic, and you could smell it the second you entered the city. I love to smell of garlic too, so I was in heaven!

I love garlic too. I don't have any of those books (but I want the Stinky Rose one!) and I do have Everything's Better With Garlic. Garlic is sexy, good thing you found a husband who knows that. Wonderful looking soup.

Every day is garlic day out here in Gilroy! Check out www.Christopherranch.com for tons of unique garlic recipes and information from the garlic capital of the world. There is a lot of poor quality Chinese garlic in stores, so remember to check country of origin and choose California garlic!

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!! You got your garlic, your cheese, your chiles, and your noodles-- what could be more perfect??? I have always loved garlic. In fact since I started cooking more Cuban food I am even more fond of garlic. When I lived in Madison, WI there was a fantastic New Orleans take out place I could never remember the name of that I always called "Eat Mo' Bettah" in honor of the Cajun Chef... they had the most divine Cream of Garlic soup there. I still dream about it, 20 years later!
